*BS*DOVER ATHLETIC fans who knew Simon Kersley Davis are invited to join in a special tribute being played out tomorrow.
*BF*Simon, 39, was tragically killed by a car near his home on Boxing Day after attending our match at Hastings.
A group of his friends from Crabble are planning to meet at the Endeavour pub at 12pm tomorrow, wearing suits and black ties.
Fans will assemble at the River End side of Crabble five minutes before kick-off in preparation for a one-minute silence.
*BS*WALID MATATA has rejected the chance to return to Crabble – after holding discussions with Dover Athletic this week.
*BF*The former Whites star was a fans’ favourite at Crabble before joining Folkestone Invicta as part of the deal that brought Jimmy Dryden to the club.
Walid has since left Invicta and joined Kent neighbours Ashford recently.
Chairman Jim Parmenter said: “We were keen on bringing Walid back and met with him this week. But, unfortunately, we couldn’t agree personal terms as he is getting paid more money at Ashford than we could afford to pay him here.
“So sadly Walid won’t be coming back to Crabble and we move on to look at other targets.”

*BS*SIMON KERSLEY DAVIS, a long-standing Dover Athletic supporter, was killed in a motoring accident on Boxing Day evening near his home in Swingate.
*BF*He attended our game at Hastings and only last week made a passionate plea for our supporters to rally around the club on a fans’ internet forum following a poor run of results.
Simon, well-known to most of our supporters and who called himself “Celery”, leaves behind wife Zoe, two young children – and a lot of friends. He was aged 39. Everyone involved with Dover Athletic send their condolences to his family at this very sad time.
